Hibernate support launched today
We're doing our Hibernate marketing launch today. You can see the press release here:
It is what you might call a very progressive launch.
First step was to allow any customer that had requested Hibernate support to see an early access preview.
Then we rolled it out to our existing user base a few weeks ago.
At that point, we actually provided a new page on the Web site describing what we offered for Hibernate:
But we didn't link to the new page from anywhere yet - it was just to explain to our existing customers the new Hibernate feature.
The roll out to existing users resulted in fixing a bunch of things based on their feedback. This was expected, of course.
Last week we switched over from allowing new evaluators to use the latest release (3.0) rather than 2.4 GA.
Again, we got more feedback - especially regarding usabilty since a lot of first time users were trying out Hibernate support.
This week we started to link to the Hibernate page - and posting on some forums.
And now we're ready for a flood of downloads from Hibernate users, confident that we're delivering the functionality they expect.
